Question SERT Needed??
I just purchased a 2009 fatboy. It has rush slipon mufflers and stock everything else. I want to add an Arlen Ness big sucker air filter. My question is, do I need to add a tuner such as a SERT? The dealer said the ECM with automatically adjust with this upgrade just as it did with the muffler upgrade, is this true? If I need a tuner which one is the most perferred? I was/am leaning towards the SERT.

The dealer is mistaken, the ECM does not do anything automatically.
